Gängeviertel


The houses seen were built in 1701 as a residential area for the working class. These are the last remnants of what once was called corridor quarter, in German Gängeviertel. Notorious for the bad living conditions and a hatchery for epidemic diseases like the cholera which infested Hamburg at a time when it had gone extinct elsewhere in Europe, the corridors were finally destroyed in the 1930ies.

Mind you, this one is called broad corridor!

Wenn man die Gegend nicht kennt, würde man das Bild eher Amsterdam, als Hamburg zuordnen... schön!

Das ist der Bäckerbreitergang, zwischen Valentinskamp und K. Wilhelm Straße, nähe Joh. Brahms Platz und der scheint nicht sehr bekannt zu sein, zumindest nicht unter meinen Bekannten, die zum Teil seit Jahrzehnten in Hamburg leben. Ist ja auch der einzig erhaltene Teil des ehemaligen Gängeviertels. In St.Pauli auf der Talstr. gibt es noch einige Hinterhöfe ähnlichen Charakters.

Ich bin da schon ein Paar mal längs gegangen, da war - wenn man Richtung Fundbüro geht - doch rechts immer diese Baustelle. War da nun schon ewig nicht mehr, ist das immer noch so?

Ist da nicht auch diese Schauspiel/Tanz/Musical/sowasinderarteben-Schule?

Alan replies:
Aus der Perspektive (Valentinskamp) ist die Baustelle links, also von der K-Wilhelm-Str. aus rechts ;-) und die ist auch noch immer da. Ich kenn mich in der Gegend auch nicht so aus, das einzige "Fundbüro", daß ich kenne ist die Diskothek /Konzerthalle unter der Sternbrücke :o)

Ähm... Natürlich! Links. Rechts ist die Baustelle nur, wenn man zurück geht ;)
